to a deserving community/group affected by Typhoon Ondoy."

Below is a list of their activities:

"For Ondoy Victim Donations...
• FAIR PROCEEDS: 100% of Fair proceeds
will go to Ondoy Victims, we noticed during some of our outreach activities,
that donations of old items instead of making the Ondoy victims feel good, they
feel self-pity. To help them get back some dignity, we aim to get them basic NEW
items, that won't make them feel too poorly about themselves. We invite
additional cash donations from the BDJ Girls =)
• SALES FROM PARTNER BRANDS:
Buying from our partner brands during the FAIR, will add our cash donation,
among others, COCCO will donate up to 15% of their sales.
• DAVID & GOLIATH T-SHIRT DONATIONS: 10 BDJ girls who bring in the MOST T-Shirts will receive a special David & Goliath gift pack. Each gift pack will include
exclusive a David & Goliath tee and other premium items! =)"

And last, but not the least, for this special day only, ALL BDJ Fair attendees, can buy the 2010 BDJ Power Planner for only Php 480! A percentage of BDJ sales during the fair will also contribute as part of the fundraiser.
